“My 2019 Tucson has been getting horrible gas mileage and also making some strange noises that I'm unsure of what they are. It's also acting like it has no power installing on a pretty regular basis since the dealership has stated nothing's wrong with it and my vehicle health report continues to state nothing is wrong I decided to get a obd2 adapter to place on it so I could see what was happening. …”
NHTSA complaint #11395767, filed 2021-02, 11,400 miles“When you step on the accelerator, sometimes the vehicle stops and takes a couple of seconds to continue running. I've faced a couple of instances were at a crossroad vehicles are coming towards me, and the car stalls and takes a while to start moving. I've been told by the mechanic car dealer that this is normal in this new accelerating system. It's can of scary and you need to accelerate and get stuck in the middle of the road. Mine is a Hyundai 2019 Tucson.”
